NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 20142. Oklahoma City Thunder (58-22)The Thunder have allowed more than 100 points in each of their last 11 losses. In fact, they’ve allowed an average of 114.5. (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 20144. Indiana Pacers (55-26)As bad as the Pacers have been (9-13 in their last 22 games) they can wrap up the 1-seed with a win at Orlando on Wednesday – and make the Eastern Conference playoffs a whole lot more interesting.

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 20146. Houston Rockets (53-27)The Rockets have been up-and-down lately – 5-5 in their last 10 games – but they should hang on for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. (Photo by Bill Baptist/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 20147. Chicago Bulls (47-33)Chicago, which has won seven of eight, is going to make life very difficult for the Pacers or Heat in the coming weeks. (Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 20148. Golden State Warriors (49-31)Stephen Curry’s triple-double against the Lakers has the Warriors back in the playoffs for the second straight season. Unfortunately, his 47 points weren’t enough to beat Portland on Sunday. (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 20149. Brooklyn Nets (44-36)Paul Piece is now the 18th member of the 25,000-point club. That’s elite company. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201411. Dallas Mavericks (49-32)The good news? The Mavs clinched a playoff spot. The bad news? They’re probably playing Oklahoma City in the first round. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201412. Toronto Raptors (47-33)The Raptors fell to fourth in the Eastern Conference but still have home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. (Photo by Ron Turenne/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201415. Washington Wizards (42-38)Washington is 21-19 at home and 21-19 on the road. That’s amazing. (Photo by Ned Dishman/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201416. Charlotte Bobcats (41-39)Al Jefferson, with averages of 21.9 points and 10.7 rebounds, is officially the most underrated player in basketball. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201419. Denver Nuggets (36-44)It’s hard to believe that a team that ranks second in the NBA rebounding – and in the top 10 in scoring – can miss the playoffs. Then again, that’s what happens when you allow 106.3 points per game. (Photo by Bart Young/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201420. New York Knicks (35-45)From the 2-seed in the East to missing the playoffs – all in one year. Good luck, Phil. (Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201422. Cleveland Cavaliers (32-49)The Cavs rank outside the top 20 in basketball in scoring and assists. Kyrie Irving needs to either pass more or shoot better than 42.9 percent from the floor. (Photo by David Liam Kyle/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201423. Detroit Pistons (29-52)Can the Pistons break 30 wins? Probably not, especially since they end the season in Oklahoma City. (Photo by Allen Einstein/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201424. Sacramento Kings (28-53)DeMarcus Cousins went off for 35 and 15 against Kevin Love and the Timberwolves on Sunday, leading the Kings to a 106-103 win. (Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201425. Los Angeles Lakers (25-55)Record-wise, this is the worst Lakers team in franchise history. (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – April 14, 201427. Utah Jazz (24-56)Utah, which has lost four straight and nine of 10, is a modest 38 games behind the Spurs. I don’t think the Jazz will catch them. (Photo by Bart Young/NBAE via Getty Images)
